What’s Visual Snow Syndrome (VSS), and why do so many autistic people have it?
I learned about this the other day, when I posted about palinopsia (visual trailing/afterimages) being common in autistic people, and a couple of our followers told me about their VSS. I did some more research, and discovered that I also have it.
Visual Snow Syndrome is a neurological condition that interferes with visual processing. It’s caused by hyperactivity and hyper-excitability of nerves in certain areas of the brain that process visual information.
The core feature of VSS is constantly seeing tiny, fuzzy “feedback” in the environment. It’s kind of like seeing the world through a staticky TV screen. Some people’s visual static is larger than others. Mine is relatively fine-grained, but it gets bigger and more obvious in low lighting.
Some of the other symptoms of VSS include:
Palinopsia (visual trailing/afterimages)
Photophobia (sensitivity to light)
Increased and enhanced ectopic phenomenon, such as floaters, phosphenes, and Scheerer’s phenomenon
Seeing glare, starbursts, and halos around lights
Difficulty seeing at night/in the dark
Seeing random flashes of light and/or color, without cause from the environment
It’s common for people with VSS to experience comorbid migraines, but VSS is not the same thing as migraine aura.
So, why do autistic people often have VSS?
It comes down to the fact that VSS is caused by the hyper-excitability of neurons in areas of the brain that process visual information. A core feature of autism is hyper-excitable neurons, especially in areas of the brain that have to do with sensory processing. So it makes sense that autism would often inadvertently cause VSS.
Here are some illustrations of visual phenomenon that VSS causes, in case you want a better understanding of what the world looks like for me and many other autistic people.

Palinopsia/image trailing:
Scheerer’s Phenomenon (tiny bright moving dots):
Starbursts around lights:
Floaters:
I hope y’all have learned something :)
I’ve found it very intriguing to realize that the way I see the world is more unique than I once knew!

4th Level Glitch: How to get on the 4th level cliff
1. Make a U cliff with a 2x2 empty space 2. Add 1 half space in the bottom of the empty space 3. Drop a solid item in the middle of the top 2 spaces trapping you 4. Point towards the object and dig at it while quickly scrolling the control stick towards the empty square
Its not the easiest one to do correctly so try it a few tries before you complain you can’t do it
Imagine: Your friend invites you to a party, you're high drunk and someone gave you a weird pill.
You're having fun though
And you ask "Hey can İ use the washroom?"
And they say "Yeah sure it's upstairs"
And those are the stairs
